Senator #LindseyGraham of South Carolina found #Trump’s claims of #election fraud in 2020 “unnerving.” Gov #BrianKemp of #Georgia described Trump’s efforts to get his state’s lawmakers to intervene a “fruitless exercise.” David Ralston, a former speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, called the plan to create slates of fake pro-Trump electors in states he had lost “the craziest thing I’ve heard.”
Transcripts of secret grand jury testimony from the #Georgia #ElectionInterference case against #Trump & his allies, obtained by NYT, show just how alarmed & exasperated a number of senior #Republicans felt about Trump’s efforts to overturn a #US presidential election. The testimony, given in 2022, is emerging at a time when Trump is again raising complaints about his 2020 defeat & voicing regret that he did not order the #NationalGuard to seize voting machines after the #election.
#Trump has also said he wanted to “lead a movement” to ban voting machines & mail-in ballots in time for the #midterm #elections this year.
The transcripts were part of the investigative file in the case brought by Fani Willis, the DA in Fulton County, #Georgia, who obtained indictments of Trump & 18 of his allies on #ElectionInterference charges in 2023. The case was dismissed in November after Willis was removed from prosecuting the case.
@Nonilex These fucking cowards ought to be held responsible for the chasm between their private concerns and their public behavior.
FUCK Republicans all the way into the goddamn sun
